Other recent performances include the chorus of Tristan und Isolde at Grange Park Opera and covering the lead role of Alfio in Cavalleria Rusticana at West Green House Opera, where he also sang in the chorus of Pagliacci. His roles as Antonio in Le Nozze di Figaro and Harašta in Cunning Little Vixen earned critical praise, with the latter contributing to an OFFIE-winning production.

Owain’s success is marked by notable recognitions, including the Keith Bonnington Prize for Male Voices at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Nadine Benjamin’s Everybody Can Robert Presley Award. These achievements reflect his dedication to vocal excellence and artistic growth.
